The Golden State Warriors' recipe for success is simple.
The Golden State Warriors rank second in three-point attempts per game, and they pride themselves on maximizing their nightly transition offense and half-court long-range shooting opportunities.
Stephen Curry is shooting 7.0 percent from three-point range and is often on the outside. The four-time NBA Championship winner misses his trusty "Splash Brothers" Klay Thompson.
Buddy Hield is expected to fill that void this season, but the Oklahoma native hasn't been a reliable three-point shooter in recent months.
In the offseason, the Warriors could bring in a Denver Nuggets star forward who is known for his excellent precision shooting in the big leagues. \ Michael Porter Jr. is one of the NBA's best third-scoring options. The Missouri player's shot creation isn't top-notch, and his shot preparation as a no-ball threat makes him almost an automatic ranged sniper.
Porter Jr. was excellent from beyond the three-point line, making sure he had a clean foot on the breakaway ball and got the maximum jump before showing off his accessible shots.
The 39-year-old pro, who is on track to shoot at least 0% from three-point range for the fifth time in six seasons, understands the importance of playing to his strengths on the offensive end.
掘金隊在2月7日的交易截止日期前沒有與小波特分道揚鑣,他們最近在季後賽前解僱邁克·馬龍的決定可能暗示了他們的休賽期計劃。
Porter Jr. has unexpectedly appeared on the free agent market, with a trade package centered around Jonathan Kuminga (sign-and-trade), the rising NBA star averaging 6.0 points per game on the wing, which could pique the Nuggets' interest.
Whether the Nuggets and Warriors make a trade in the summer, time will tell.
